It can only be said that Wanli is a little naïve, such as this kind of thing, how can it be hidden.

Everything in Weihui Mansion is under surveillance, and the tax bill of Weihui Mansion has not yet reached Yaxing, and Dongchang already knows about it, but Zhang Whale did not deliberately leak the news this time, because he knew that the ministers of the DPRK and China were all staring at it, and he didn't need to make a small report.

In fact, as soon as the tax bill arrived at Yaxing, the cabinet had already received the news.

They originally thought that when this tax bill came, Guo Dan should go to the household department to discuss the payment of taxes, not to mention whether it was more or less, the silver still had to be sent to the door, this was the process that should be taken, but Guo Dan did not move at all.

If according to the contract, it is not yet the specified time, Guo Dan can drag it out, but the ministers can't help it, this matter has been fermenting, especially since their money is so domineering, they can't drag it out any longer, so Song Jingsheng, the head of the household department, came to Yaxing to find Guo Dan in person.

"Master Song visited the shop, I don't know what he ordered?" Guo Dan arched his hand.

He had been arrogant in front of Fang Fengshi, but he also looked at people, knowing that Fang Fengshi would not care about this, but in front of most officials, he still had to be respectful.

So why Li Rusong is going around everywhere in the country is that he is unruly, violates the law with force, and is always impeached.

Song Jingsheng said: "I heard that the accounts of Weihui Mansion have been sent here, why don't you send them to the household department immediately?" ”

Lao Tzu is a grass people, and he is not your subordinate. Guo Dan explained: "If you go back to Lord Song, it is not the account of Weihui Mansion, but the account of the grass people operating and trading in Weihui Mansion, as far as the rules are concerned, there should be no need to send it to the household department." ”

"Bastard."

Song Jingsheng slapped the table and shook out the official authority, "If there is no conclusive evidence, how can this official come to you in person, do you dare to say that the account sent from Weihui Mansion a few days ago is not about the tax of Weihui Mansion?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Lord Song may have misunderstood, the account book does include the taxes of Weihui Mansion, but the contracting of Weihui Mansion by the grass people is a transaction, and the accounts involved in it are of course the accounts of the grass people's trading." ”

Song Jingsheng said angrily: "No matter what kind of accounts you have, you immediately take them out to the official, and the household department wants to check the accounts of a small businessman, isn't it possible?" ”

"Done. Absolutely. ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "But this account is not in the hands of the grass people now." ”

Song Jingsheng asked, "Whose hands is that?" ”

Guo Dan said: "In the hands of Your Majesty, because this matter is related to King Lu, so as soon as this account arrived, the grass people didn't have time to look at it, so they let Your Majesty take it." ”

Song Jingsheng frowned and said, "Is this true?" ”

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Even if you give the grass people ten guts, the grass people don't dare to lie to Your Majesty." ”

Song Jingsheng glanced at Guo Dan and sneered: "You don't think that if you play some cleverness, you can hide it, this official tells you that this is absolutely impossible, so you can do it yourself." ”

With that, he got up and departed.

As far as Guo Dan's path is concerned, he still doesn't know, it's nothing more than Guo Dan cooperating with the emperor again, but Guo Dan insisted that he didn't look at it, so they could only go to Wanli to ask for it.

However, it is not the first time to find trouble with the emperor, as long as they have Guo Dan's words, they have a reason to go to the emperor.

As soon as he left, the back door opened, and he saw Aunt Xu entering the house.

Guo Dan sighed and said aggrievedly: "The layman has also seen it, I, it's just the surface scenery, and I don't know how many times I have been murdered by them behind my back." ”

Aunt Xu smiled: "But even so, you are willing to be murdered by them." ”

Nonsense, a few words of scolding, tens of thousands of taels of income, stupid lack of talent. Guo Dan smiled awkwardly, and quickly changed the topic: "I don't know what the layman thinks about this?" ”

Aunt Xu frowned slightly and said, "I thought that this matter could not be hidden, and this account had to be handed over in the end." ”

Guo said lightly: "Your Majesty can't hide it? ”

Aunt Xu said: "If the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty put pressure on Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be difficult to deal with, as Song Shilang said, the household department wants to check your accounts, it is a matter of course, he came in person, it really gave you a great face, generally speaking, you can let the official teeth check your taxes." ”

Guo Dan said with a hint of depression: "No matter what I do, it will always be the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the entire Shilin that I will offend, this has never changed, but how can I be able to offend so many people if I have the ability to pee." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Aunt Xu.

He felt that the risk was still a bit high, the fault tolerance rate was too low, as long as he lost once, he would basically not be saved, and he had to rely on Wanli to stand in front, which was also one of the reasons why he invited Aunt Xu to come.

Aunt Xu came to the sofa and sat down, and said slowly: "There is a way, Sai Weng lost his horse, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or not, and there are two sides to everything." ”

Guo Dan hurriedly sat opposite her and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Aunt Xu said: "As far as you just said, if you say the other way, if you win 10,000 times, they will still be able to survive unscathed, and the damage you can do to them is very limited." ”

Guo Danzhi nodded and said: "The layman is very right, although I stabbed Dongchang last time, it doesn't seem to have much of a deterrent. In fact, for me, Dongchang is easier to deal with, after all, it is just a struggle for power, and Zhang Whale also has to take care of His Majesty, but these ministers, they are all from Confucianism, and there is faith in this, not a simple struggle for power. ”

Aunt Xu nodded lightly and said, "You are right, but everything has to be prioritized." ”

"Priorities?" Guo Dan muttered, and said confusedly: "Layman, you know that I don't have talent in this area, can you make my words clearer." ”

Aunt Xu said: "As a businessman, no matter how many times you win them, they will be safe and sound, but if you are caught by the opponent of the DPRK and China, you may lose your entire career and even your life." ”

Guo Dan frowned, muttered a little, and said, "The intention of the layman is to provoke a struggle between them. ”

Aunt Xu nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "The lesser of these two evils, if they fight in the court, they will naturally have no time to take care of you, and may even use you to attack the other party, after all, the damage you can inflict on them is limited, and your disadvantage is precisely your advantage, it depends on how you take advantage of this." ”

Guo Dan pondered for a while, and said: "But I'm just a businessman, how can I provoke a fight between them, I can't let me go to Your Majesty to say, then Your Majesty can't open this mouth even if you want to agree." ”

Aunt Xu said with a smile: "In fact, since the death of Zhang Gelao, the struggle between the court and the central government has never stopped, and the main struggle comes from the Yanguan and the cabinet, they are seizing every opportunity to deal with each other, but your appearance has temporarily made them all focus on you, so it is not difficult to provoke their fighting, they already have many contradictions." ”

She's right, but ...... she? Guo Dan suddenly glanced at Aunt Xu suspiciously, and said, "I take the liberty to say it, I thought that you had a heart that worried about the country and the people, and I never thought that you would ..... too." "I added in my heart, so insidious.

He does think that Aunt Xu is very decent, although she is a woman, she is worried about the country and the people, and she can clearly distinguish between good and evil, but now it seems that this is not the case.

I just feel that Zhang Wuji's mother is very reasonable, this beautiful woman is unreliable.

Aunt Xu said frankly: "After the award, although I am not as great as you say, they are not a country or a people." ”

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "That makes sense." "But I thought in my heart, the more this woman looks, the more unfathomable it becomes, how do I feel that I am seeking skin with the tiger, and when dealing with her in the future, I need to keep a few more minds, but don't let the eagle peck blind.

He asked again: "Maybe this matter may not be worth mentioning for the layman, but for me, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, and I don't even have a clue now, and I hope the layman can tell me clearly." ”

Aunt Xu suddenly asked, "Do you know Cheng Guishi?" ”

Guo Dan's eyes suddenly shook a few times, and said, "It seems to be the prefect of the Daimyo's Mansion." ”

Aunt Xu looked at him with a smile.

Guo Dan snorted, saw that he couldn't hide it, and then said honestly: "I know." ”

Aunt Xu smiled: "Actually, it's not difficult to guess, the success or failure of Weihui Mansion is related to your life, if you are not absolutely sure, how dare you provoke Zhangde Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, the only answer is that you have negotiated with the Daimyo Mansion in advance." ”

Guo Dan sneered: "I really can't hide anything from the layman, but what is the relationship between these two things?" ”

Aunt Xu said with a smile: "You may not know that Cheng Guishi and Shen Shixing had a master-apprentice relationship, so you only need to release the news of Cheng Guishi's collusion with you at the right time, and your problem will be solved." ”

"It's... It's not good. Guo Dan seemed very hesitant.

Aunt Xu was very surprised and said, "I didn't expect you to be so affectionate." ”

"That's not it, if I'm in trouble, I guess I'll be the first to jump out and slap me when I return, so as not to suspect that he is colluding with me, I still have this awareness, but the problem is that the Daimyo's Mansion is very important to me, and this can't be missed."

"Is it important to you, or is it important to Your Majesty." Aunt Xu asked suddenly.

"It's all important......

As soon as the words came out, Guo Dan's eyes suddenly widened.

Aunt Xu said: "In this regard, Your Majesty is much stronger than yours. ”

Wanli is certainly not a stupid person, not only that, he is also smarter, but he is lazy, but he wants to seize power, this is impossible, throughout the ages, when the imperial power is strong, it usually happens to the diligent emperor, Taizu, Chengzu is the best proof.

In history, Wanli has begun to neglect government since last year, and then set a record of not going to the court for more than 30 years.

It's just because of Guo Dan's arrival that Wanli has become positive.

But positive is positive, and he still hates red tape very much.

Originally, a great court meeting was to be held at the beginning of the year, but Wanli felt that it was meaningless, and the court meeting was more of a symbolic ceremony, that is, to accept the worship of the ministers, go through a process, and nothing could be done, but it was very tiring.

Therefore, this assembly became a small meeting and was arranged in the Wuying Palace.

The ministers can't do anything about him, brother, just come out.

As soon as the meeting began, Shen Shixing, as the first assistant, had to report the situation to Wanli, "Your Majesty, last year, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and the entire Henan Province encountered large and small droughts, crops were not harvested, and the people everywhere were not happy, and they may need the support of the imperial court, and the imperial court should take precautions." ”

Wanli was happy to hear it, and waved his hand again and again: "Shoufu's words are wrong, isn't the situation in Weihui Mansion very good..... ”

At this point, he suddenly closed his lips, and his heart was full of remorse, this old fox.

PS: The chapter in the early hours of tomorrow may be postponed to the afternoon, as I said earlier, the family is at home these days, and I can only code words at night, which makes my schedule disordered, and I am groggy every day, lacking some passion, but the plot will enter the second stage with the addition of Aunt Xu, and I plan to spend a day adjusting it first.

Everyone, please support!
